Delamain (Cognac Producer)
Delamain is a producer of cognac, based in Jarnac, France. Delamain is one of the oldest Cognac houses and has been continuously family run since its establishment in 1824 although its roots in the cognac trade go back even further, beginning shortly after the arrival in France of Irishman James Delamain in 1751. Nine generations later, James's direct descendant, Charles Braastad, serves as Delamain Cognac's Managing Director. The House of Delamain only produces XO and above cognacs and only produces cognacs produced from eaux de vie from cognac's Grande Champagne region, which is widely recognized as cognac's finest terroir.

In 2020, the House of Delamain celebrated the 100th anniversary of its flagship cognac, Pale & Dry XO. Also in 2020, Dela ...

Eau De Vie

In English-speaking countries, ''eau de vie'' refers to a distilled beverage made from fruit other than grapes. Similar terms may be local translations or may specify the fruit used to produce it. Although ''eau de vie'' is a French term, similar beverages are produced in other countries (e.g., German ''Schnaps'', Greek '' ούζο'', Turkish '' rakı'', Balkan ''rakia'', Romanian '' țuică'', Czech and Slovak ''pálenka'', Hungarian '' pálinka'', and Sri Lankan coconut ''arrack'').
